How we Work

Destiny Arise provides collateral free small loans to women who do not have collateral, a credit history or the means of accessing a loan from a bank. Business Workshops are run quarterly with a holistic approach to equip women with the Business Training and Financial training they need to launch their business into reality. These workshops also provide the women with an opportunity to network, so that they can share ideas, make connections and build enduring mutually beneficial relationships.

Loan officers and business mentors work with the women and the term of the loan varies but is typically from six months to 1 year. Loans are recycled and lent out to help another woman start her own business and break out of poverty.

Women are also taught how to run ethically sound businesses, how to open a bank account manage and save their money. This helps them keep their money safely and help them plan for the future.
